Camden County Sheriff's Office

Sheriff Jim Proctor heads the Camden County Sheriff's Office. The mailing address is PO Box 699, Woodbine, GA 31569. You can reach the office by phone at (912) 510-5100. The sheriff handles law enforcement across the county, runs the detention facility, and manages all jail bookings.

The Camden County detention facility is at 209 East 4th Street, Woodbine, GA 31569. It has a capacity of 100 beds. Every person booked at this facility gets a jail mugshot taken as part of the intake process. The photo goes on file along with charges, bond info, and personal details. The jail holds pretrial detainees, sentenced inmates, and people waiting for transfer to state or federal custody.

Camden County sits on the coast and shares a border with Florida. The presence of Kings Bay Naval Submarine Base adds to the local population and can result in bookings that involve both civilian and military-related matters. All civilian arrests go through the county sheriff's office and the county jail. Military personnel may face separate proceedings, but the county booking record and mugshot still apply for local charges.

Search Camden County Jail Mugshots

Camden County has an online inmate inquiry system that lets you look up current inmates. This tool searches the jail roster by name and shows booking details for people currently in custody. It is the most direct way to check if someone is in the Camden County jail right now.

The inmate inquiry system pulls data from the jail's booking records. It may not show every record instantly, and it only covers people who are currently held. Once an inmate is released or transferred, their record drops off the active roster. For historical bookings, you will need to try other tools or make a records request.

Camden County is also covered by Georgia's VINE notification system. VINE stands for Victim Information and Notification Everyday. Sign up at www.vinelink.com or call 1-866-277-7477 to register. The service sends free alerts by phone, email, or text when an inmate's custody status changes at the Camden County jail. It is useful when you need to know if someone has been released or transferred.

VINE does not show mugshots. But it confirms that a person is in custody. For the most current booking status, use the official inmate inquiry link above or call the detention facility directly.

Camden County Open Records

You can request jail mugshots and booking records from Camden County through the open records process. Katie Bishop, the County Clerk, handles open records requests. The office is at 200 East 4th Street, PO Box 99, Woodbine, GA 31569. You can also call 912-576-5651 to ask about the process or submit a request.

Under O.C.G.A. § 50-18-70, Georgia's Open Records Act requires agencies to respond within three business days. This applies to all county offices in Camden County, including the sheriff and the clerk. Your request should include the full name of the person, approximate dates, and what records you want. The more detail you give, the quicker the office can find the right file.

Copy fees are set by state law at 10 cents per page under O.C.G.A. § 50-18-71. Digital copies of jail mugshots may cost less or be free depending on the office. Ask about fees when you submit your request so you know what to plan for.

Mugshot Access and Georgia Law

Camden County jail mugshots are subject to Georgia's booking photo laws. O.C.G.A. § 35-1-19 restricts how law enforcement can share booking photographs. The sheriff's office cannot post jail mugshots to websites unless the requester signs a statement confirming the photo will not go on a pay-for-removal site. This rule applies to every jail mugshot taken at the Camden County detention facility.

Record restriction is an option for people whose cases end favorably. Under O.C.G.A. § 35-3-37, you can apply to have your Camden County arrest record restricted if your case was dismissed, you were acquitted, or you meet other qualifying conditions. A restricted record means the jail mugshot and all related booking data are sealed from public view. The arrest will no longer show up in standard searches.

The Georgia Consumer Protection Division investigates complaints about mugshot websites. Under O.C.G.A. § 10-1-393.5, charging money to remove a booking photo is against state law. If a site posts your Camden County jail mugshot and demands payment to take it down, you have the right to file a complaint with the state.

State-Level Records for Camden County

The GDC offender search tracks anyone convicted in Camden County who is now serving time in a state prison. This system is separate from the local jail roster. It shows current facility assignment, mugshot, and sentence details for state inmates. Use this tool if the person you are looking for has already been sentenced and transferred out of the county jail.

The Georgia Bureau of Investigation also maintains statewide criminal history records. A GBI check covers arrest data, court outcomes, and custody info from all 159 Georgia counties, including Camden. This is the most thorough option if you need a full criminal history rather than just a single jail mugshot or booking record.
